A little mouse walks into the Lost & Found, but can only speak French. How will Mr and Mrs Frog figure out what the mouse is missing…? Aimed at children aged 2-7, the unique ‘Story-powered language learning method’ combines humour, story and emotion to gently introduce kids to more than forty simple and fun French words and phrases. “The kids were so busy laughing they didn’t realise they were learning.” Kyle Buchannan, Dad of two, London. It’s a bilingual children’s book with a difference, that helps lay the foundations of a love of languages.Reviews:“I love that I can introduce my kids to a new language without it feeling like homework.” Zoe Reynolds, UK“Let’s read it again.” Noah, aged 4.5.Utterly charming story, making use of children’s natural approach to learning language” Madalena Xanthopoulou, Founder, The Alma Collective. Expert on raising multilingual children."A wonderful book to introduce a new language Into the classroom. Lots to talk about and really captIvating illustratIons." Rohan Plunkett, Deputy Head, Akiva Primary School.How does the Story-Powered Language Learning Method work?Previously, parents could chose a French picture dictionary or traditional bilingual French English books. This book uses the ‘Story-powered Language Learning Method’ to tap into a child’s natural abilities for french language learning. There are three steps: We create an emotionally engaging and funny story for children and adults to enjoy together, just like any of the other French books for children. Studies show that social interaction, like enjoying a book together, is critical in language learning. Through the story, we introduce a relatable character who speaks only in the french language. This helps build empathy and a positive attitude towards people who speak different languages. These are both important aspects in laying the foundations for lasting language acquisition in a child’s life. As the story in this English French childrens book progresses, the child naturally works with the characters to discover the meanings of a wide range of fun new words and phrases. Strategic use of humour ensures that this subconscious learning is rewarded with laughter; the child feels good and the first seeds of a lifelong love of language are sown.Message from the AuthorWriting French books for kids is a real pleasure. There is a special magic about learning words in another language and using them: I truly think it warms the heart. I've learnt jokes or songs in ten languages so far and it's brought me so much joy. This French book for children is first and foremost a really enjoyable story, but it's also my way of helping little learners engage with french language learning, empathise with strangers and ultimately build a love of languages. And it happens without them realising. Any parent who has ever tried to smuggle vegetables into pasta sauce will know that you can get a lot of good stuff into things without kids realising. This French picture book is the same! I want you all to have fun together and enjoy the story. All the learning is a bonus; the icing on the cake (or the extra veg in the sauce!). The idea that after a few reads, kids will be able to go up to a native speaker and tell them in their own language: 'I've lost my hat' fills me with joy. Imagine how proud the child will feel. And imagine how proud you'll feel too! I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had writing it. with best wishes, MarkPerfect for those looking for:gift for French childlearn to speak French for kidsdual language book French EnglishFrench English bilingual book for childrenpicture book in Frenchbook to learn Frenchgifts for kids under 10 FrenchFrench language learning for kidsFrench vocabulary book

Product Description See below for English description.Qu'est-ce que la beauté?La beauté est un concept social fondé sur de nombreux stéréotypes. Ces stéréotypes influencent les jeunes filles et les amènent à se persuader que non seulement la beauté est importante, mais que pour être belles, elles doivent adopter des comportements soi-disant féminins.Dans son album Les jolies filles, Stacy McAnulty dénonce ces stéréotypes avec légèreté et humour. À l'appui de ses affirmations, elle appose des images teintées d'une ironie contrastante. Son ouvrage permet aux parents de mener une discussion sur différents modèles de beauté et sur l'importance d'être bien dans sa peau.Every girl is unique, talented, and lovable. . . Every girl is BEAUTIFUL.Much more than how one looks on the outside, true beauty is found in conquering challenges, showing kindness, and spreading contagious laughter. Beautiful girls are empowered and smart and strong!Les jolies filles breaks barriers by showing girls free to be themselves: splashing in mud, conducting science experiments, and reading books under a flashlight with friends. This book will encourage all girls to embrace who they are and realize their endless potential.Original title: Beautiful Review « Célébrées pour leurs particularités et leur diversité, les filles se font offrir un espace où elles peuvent trouver la beauté de plusieurs façons. » --Kirkus Reviews About the Author STACY MCANULTY est l'auteure des livres pour enfants Les jolies filles et Les petits héros.

Adé est une jolie petite fille à la peau noire, aux grands yeux bruns et aux cheveux crépus.

With a length of brilliant red thread, Serge Bloch weaves the eloquent tale that is life’s journey. As various as the tree in Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree, the thread represents the emotional bond between husband and wife, the bit of color on a bleak day, the bow in her hair, the wave good-bye. It pushes and pulls, it gets tangled and taut, it embraces and secures, it gets yanked, rent, and lets go. All the momentous events and the heart of ordinary life—the joy, the sadness—are captured in 150 words and 25 two-page illustrations, executed in simple black lines and red embroidery thread. This virtuoso performance by an award-wining artist and his collaborator—both masters of the minimal—is at once profound, witty, warm, and wise. This is a gift book for any occasion.

He is afraid, and feels lonely without his precious balloon. Will they finally find the balloon? A beautiful story about friendship and trust.Reproduced on heavy, buff cardstock, the arresting black-and-white woodcuts, with pops of red for the balloon and its impostors, exemplify the organic charm of the medium. Crisp lines are softened with inky bits and shards, and flat backgrounds swirl with wood-grain movement. [] this fresh, graphic synthesis of a counting and bedtime story promises to delight young viewers (and their grown-ups) with an eye for artistry and detail.--The BooklistFrench artist Philipponneau’s striking wood engravings are the centerpiece of this counting story; he revels in the textures and contrasts that the medium offers, and his folk artlike depictions of the night forest are handsome enough to stand on their own. []The rough-hewn artwork and thick matte paper stock are lovely.--Publishers Weekly"Zebedee's Balloon" is a touching read for parents to read along with children, highly recommended. Also from Auzou Publishing and Alice Brière-Haquet is "Peter and the Moon" (9782733819401, $16.95), a cute tale of a young man who wants to give the moon to his mother, wonderfully illustrated by Celia Chauffrey.--Midwest Book Review
